Kathryn Lagden of AIMS tells me that there are only a few spots left for our Geek Dinner on March 20th with C.C. Chapman, Kate Trgovac and Jay Moonah. The dinner is in advance of the AIMS Second Life event held the next morning.Geek dinner details can be found on the AIMS blog. So get in touch fast if you’d like to attend.
And, in case you did not know about the Second Life event, here is a quick description of the event being held on March 21:

Join us for an in-depth look at what Second Life (and other virtual worlds) means to marketers. You’ll learn what the people and companies in Second Life are doing, the implications (today and future) of virtual worlds for brands and marketers, and what your company should know before throwing open its virtual doors.
Plus – after the presentation we’ll have 3 breakout sessions so you can get hands-on with Second Life. Join one of the following groups:
– Taking the plunge – entering Second Life for the first time
– I’m a walking, talking, sometimes flying avatar – Now what?
– I’m a SL resident looking at possibilities for my business

Hope to see you at the dinner on the 20th and at the event the next day!

Breaking news at AIMS. I was privy to this information and was itching to blog about it since we began planning it a few weeks ago. So here it is – The Marketers Roadmap to Second Life
Date: March 21, 2007, Time: 8:30 – 11:00am
Location: The Diesel Playhouse (large theatre)
Here is a description from the AIMS site:

Every week brings new reports of companies opening offices and stores in the virtual world of Second Life. Telus, American Apparel, and Dell are just a few of the well-known brands that have opened their virtual doors for business.

The initial hype is starting to subside as stories of empty stores and vandalized buildings make headlines. Yet over $500,000 US exchanges hands daily among the 3.7 million residents and businesses continue to explore the opportunities in this online digital world.

The best part is that C.C. Chapman will be back in Toronto to present at this event. If you don’t know who C.C. is, then you need to bone up. He is a podcaster extraordinaire and Second Life expert / pundit – which is all good because that is exactly what he will be speaking about! I am proud to call him a friend and it will be great to see him here in Toronto again.
Also, Jay Moonah from Uncle Seth will be there to chat about how he has managed his band’s brand in the virutual world. Should be very infomative and interesting.
Check out the details over at AIMS, or the AIMS Blog and don’t miss out.
I think I sense another Geek Dinner Toronto in our midst – I know C.C. will be into it! Stay tuned.

Mitch Joel of Twist Image had a somewhat revealing post this week and decided to turn it into a digital chain letter. Here is my response to the Five Things Meme. I broke the rules and listed 10. I’m such a rebel. Can you spot the fake ones?
1. My kids and my wife are my life. Emma 5, and Ben 2, and Andrea 29 ; )
2. I have been playing guitar since 15, but am still very shy about playing in front other people.
3. I collect wine – red only. Well sort of. If collect means keep and never drink then I am certainly not a collector.
4. I’ve never broken a bone or had to be in the hospital.
5. I am rather quiet and soft spoken, a man of few words.
6. I was the inspiration for LonelyGirl15. It was all based on my video series, Loser36.
7. The first time I was ever quoted in a national newspaper (The Financial Post in mid-90’s) I managed muck it up by sparking the anger of the Premier of New Brunswick. The Premier’s office called and wrote me in response to a rather careless statement about NB’s ability to sustain growth in an industry sector that I used to work in. Please note, this was before my media training!
8. Winston Churchill and Mark Twain are huge heros of mine.
9. I’ve seen The Godfather I and II over 20 times (each).
10. I spent nearly half the year of grade six with my desk in the hall. I was a bad boy!
Now, I am tagging Mish, Tony, C.C. , Mack, Julia, Brendan, Donna, and Kathryn.
Happy tales.
